One more big job to pay for the victory—or the immediate demands of victory- and Liber ty Loans will be history. There must be no lagging by the American people in the drive that will come in April. It will not be a time for excuses. The same spirit that charac terized the last hour of fighting before the armistice went into effect should be shown by the stay-at-homes for whom the Yanks fought in Fi ance, Here is the official report of operations in those last few hours of the war: "The third division advanced three kilometers east of Brehe- ville. Despite increased resis tance by machine gun and ar tillery fire the fifth division continued to advance, capturing 18 prisoners, three large calibre guns, six minenwerfers and con siderable material. In accord ance with the terms of the armistice hostilities on the front of, the American armies ceased at 11 a. m.” The Y’anks didn’t shirk that last job. Many gave their lives with peace a matter of minutes away. Every American at home worth the victory won by those boys in khaki will work as hard in the coming loan as in the first. NEXT CAR! Evidently it never occurred to the P. R. L. & P. Co. that in the emergency caused by the influenza epidemic it might be a good policy to put on more cars to handle traffic without crowding. The cars seat 34. The health authorities have lim ited the loads to 65. Ordinarily during the evening hours from 4 to 7 o’clock these cars carry frbm 75 to 130—double to four times their seating capacity. Now that a limit has been put on their loads they pick up their full allowance of 65 and close the doors, with the result that the overflow has to wait until the next train arrives, which often is already full. Those having to catch the car on the east side in the evening some times have to wait an hour or more before a car comes along loaded light enough to permit their boarding it. It would create a better im pression in the minds of the Mt. Scott people if the company would strain a point at least once in its history to provide adequate service. - WELCOME THE BOYS INFLUENZA CONTROL Reports are appearing daily BETTER UNDERSTOOD of cities and towns that are or ganizing to provide a welcome Epidemic Waves Found to Run for the soldiers as they return in About Three-week home.

NOT WANTED ANYWHERE A bill has been introduced in the legislature providing for the deporting of the 94 aliens who had their first citizenship pa pers cancelled rather than take their share of the war burden. A movement was started in congress some time ago with the same purpose in view but Norway entered a vigorous pro test against former citizens of that country being sent back. These men have not only earned the contempt of decent citizens of this country but also, in the case of Norway at least, of the land of their birth.
